- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Throw in the striking underwater photography and Michel Legrand's big score, and I don't understand why more critics don't dig 'Ice Station Zebra'. Even director John Carpenter calls it a guilty pleasure"
-
"A fairly tight, exciting, Saturday night adventure story"
-
"John Sturges directed this overlong but intermittently entertaining action-thriller."
-
"Intrigue comes in epic proportions in this US versus Russia arctic battle."
